Highway to Hell

By AC/DC






Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Dont need reason, dont need rhyme
Aint nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too

Im on the highway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit
Nobodys gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobodys gonna mess me round
Hey satan, payed my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey momma, look at me
Im on my way to the promised land

Im on the highway to hell
(dont stop me)

And Im going down, all the way down
Im on the highway to hell


The song "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC deals with Transcendentalism. The song puts emphasis on self-reliance, nonconformity, and confidence. If you look at the lyrics, the lyrics are aggressive without fear and violent. The song is generally about breaking rules, ignoring people, and acting selfish for one’s pleasure in life.


The analysis of lyrics:

- Living easy, living free

- Taking everything in my stride --> choosing to become selfish and malevolent for one’s pleasure in life.

- No stop signs, speed limit

Nobodys gonna slow me down

Like a wheel, gonna spin it

Nobodys gonna mess me round --> the singer believes and relies in himself and his transcendent ability that nobody cannot stop and irritate because he is above all.

- Hey satan, payed my dues

- Im on my way to the promised land --> choosing to become selfish and malevolent for one’s pleasure in life.

- Im on the highway to hell

(dont stop me)
